		The 1st 4 Ramones LP’s still represent everything that was ever achievable via Punk Rock and stand as an unswerving testament to the vision, dedication and application of Dee Dee and his fellow brudders.

		KURT LODER KICKS off his piece "Dee Dee Ramone Remembered by Kurt Loder" by saying, "The Ramones, with their torn jeans, fl leather jackets and walloping, supercharged riffs, were not only the definitive punk band (they created the classic form); they were also a great American band." Jesus, what a bunch of horseshit.
		I say it sucks that Dee Dee had a drug problem he couldn't beat and that half the reason we all worshipped those guys is because they looked cool shooting up and now they're all dead.
		After leaving the Ramones, Dee Dee tried to form a band with Stiv Bators, who was in the Dead Boys and is in fact now dead, and Johnny Thunders, who is also dead.

	Dee Dee Ramone
		Dee Dee sounds hoarse, drugged and stupid, the guitar has a chorusy sheen on it and is nearly impossible to hear over the dull bass and drums, and the songs themselves, although they're really really great songs, are nevertheless poorly composed and quite near invaluableless.
		Dee Dee claimed to have gotten really into the electric blues at the time, but the only instance of this influence cropping up on the record is "Fix Yourself Up," a not-very-good song that sounds more like the Heartbreakers than the Ramones (that whole Johnny Thunders thing).
		Dee Dee and Barbara trade off vocals, thank GOD, because Dee Dee's range is pretty limited to begin with but it sounds even worse after about half an hour, when he gives up and just starts TALKING the words instead of even trying to hit those heavenly Joey Ramone notes.

		Although the Ramones would go through several drummers during their career, their instantly recognizable style almost single-handedly helped launch the punk rock movement, as the group signed on with Sire Records and issued such classic recordings as 1976's self-titled debut, 1977's Leave Home, and Rocket to Russia, plus 1978's Road to Ruin.
		His first post-Ramones project was rap-based and he assumed another alias, Dee Dee King, and issued a lone album, Standing in the Spotlight, which sank from sight upon release.

	Dee Dee Ramone \| Obituaries \| Guardian Unlimited
		It is no exaggeration to say that when Douglas Colvin changed his name to Dee Dee and formed The Ramones, he changed rock music forever.
		The Ramones' oft-copied image - ripped jeans, tight t-shirts, leather jackets - was based on the clothes worn by New York's teenage 'hustlers', while the harrowing song 53rd And 3rd was based on Colvin's experiences at a notorious Manhattan pick up intersection.
		Where most 70s rock bands were aloof and remote, The Ramones were cheerfully dumb and warmly inclusive, reaching out to an audience of "geeks", "runts" and "punks" disenfranchised by the lofty pretentions of Jethro Tull and Emerson Lake And Palmer.

		The Ramones gave the devil's music a much needed shot in the arm (no pun intended!) by combining the 2 minute pop thrills of '50s beat outfits like the Shangri- La's with an aggression and sense of danger which was completely new and caused waves almost immediately.
		Dee Dee was the principle songwriterof the Ramones, and his image became one of the key looks of punk: leather jacket, scuffed Levi's, beaten up Converse sneakers and a permanent sneer.
		This made for a particularly nauseating autobiography, Poison Heart: Surviving the Ramones, which was ruined by the AA cllche's he trotted out towards the final chapters with the wide-eyed zeal of the newly converted.
